That setting applies to the Events box that you place on your profile (telling friends what events you are attending). Placing someone under these settings just prevents them from viewing this box (if you’ve added it), and doesn’t do what we all want– prevent them from inviting you.

Was getting events from friend on Facebook. Removed him as friend. Blocked him. I still get his events. Followed your directions above, except his profile can no longer can be found. He’ll be the one person attending the event, but no profile appears. But he can still send events that I’ll never attend. I’d like to TRON his ass!

yeah, how about blocking inappropriate events from people I don’t know or aren’t friended with. people (spammers) I don’t know are inviting me to download a free music program – illegal and unwanted! Why do I have to block everyone to make this work?
